Most people associate pavers with outdoor use. Pavers are regarded as products to be used over soft bases (substrates) such as rammed earth or road base sprinkled with sand. On these foundations the stone used needs to be strong to ensure against movement that might cause cracking. As a result, the thickness of the needs to be 30mm or more, which depending on the traffic load.

These days, outside areas are often concreted providing an incredibly strong and very stable substrate. As a result, a much thinner "tile" of 10 - 15mm might be quite adequate, which is also depending on the flexural strength of the stone and the traffic load expected. Apart from the thickness of the stone and the cost, there is no difference between a tile and a paver! 

As one of the best choice of pavers we would like to mention the sandstone. Himalayan stone is the name given to many types of sandstone that are quarried in India. It’s a name that is misleading because no sandstone comes from the Himalayas. Willow sandstone tiles and pavers come from Rajahstan; they are all hand selected and color sorted to meet our requirements.
